  1. Tomorrow night already! Cant wait. Both sides will come out to try win as they dont know how else to play. The first goal will be huge and if Man U score then Arsenal will need to win by 2 goals. I can see Arsenal winning but have a feeling it could be 2-1 which would see Man U through.
  2. Were these guys sitting behind the goal in the broomloan during the match? I was wondering why there was a crowd of fans all wearing brown
  3. What a headache Smith has for next week. Miller and Lafferty are back fit again yet Boyd and Velicka have scored in every game since the first 2 have been out!!! I think he has to break the partership up and go with 1 of the more mobile players to make the Celtic defence work more.
  4. Cant seeing starting at all, fitness alone would rule him out. Id have a 3 man centre midfield next week of Edu, Mendes and Davis. Get Novo on the right. Having an extra man wider than Davis allows him much more time on the ball to be more effective.
  5. I only watched the first half but thought the exact same as Cammy when I saw the line up - half the outfield team was out of position. Dailly (centre half by trade playing at RB) McCulloch (Striker by trade playing centre half) Whittaker (RB playing at LB) Davis (Centre midfielder playing RM) S Smith (LB playing LM). Davis is being restricted on the right, he should be playing in the middle probably with Edu at the moment. I like Mendes but he isnt playing his best at the moment. Velicka is becoming another Boyd - doesnt do much off the ball but can score at any time. I think 1 of these 2 have to make way for the more mobile Lafferty or Miller against Celtic though.
  6. Pre 2005 Barry yes! But we seem to be winning games without him. Id still move Davis into the centre and i think we'd see a far better player.
  7. Was happier for Birmingham to go up rather than Sheff Utd. I hope Burnley or Preston go up via the play offs now. Cardiff City!!!! - Didnt win any of there final 4 games and that 6-0 defeat from Preston cost them a place in the play offs! The SPL XI will have to do it all again next season. Norwich, Southampton and Charlton down!
  8. This guy has mental issues. How many chances does he need then he goes and loses it again. I cant believe how bad newcastle are, they look like a team of 40 year old Ex-Pro's who are turning up for an exhibition match. They dont have 1 player who can stand up or stand out bar the keeper - Harper had a great game and kept the score down. Butt - Finished Nolan - out of his depth Barton - waste of space Owen - finished years ago / not interested Viduka - makes Boyd look like an olympic gymnast Duff - legs have gone Smith - Not a midfielder but never been the same player since injury And the wages these players get is scary! I hope Hull get a point at Villa tonight.
  9. Barnsley winning at Plymouth and Norwich getting beat 3-1 at Charlton. Norwich will join Southampton and Charlton in League 1. That league is beginning to gets its fair share of former EPL teams. If Leeds dont come up then there will be some good fixtures there next season.
  10. If it wasnt for Steve Harper it would be at least 4 by now. He has had 3 superb saves. Alan Smith isnt the same player since his injury, Barton is a loose cannon, Viduka is just an overweight lump and Owen cant get ahead of them! Damien Duff is at LB - says it all!
  11. I think Middlesboro could beat Newcastle. At least Southgate tries to play football. Newcastle just look like a team who havent played the game before. This game is now 2-0 going on 7-0.
  12. A straight replacement for Dailly! He has been playing LB for portsmouth this season though has he? Cant say id prefer Hreidasson to Papac.
  13. It was a good start to the game, then Liverpool get a offside goal. But the Newcastle defence is just awful. Shearer cant do anything about it, I went to Newcastle v Blackburn back in September and a poor Blackburn side torn them apart - they have been awful all season. You just cant see how Newcastle will get another 2 wins this season but Hull as just as bad.
  14. Still a full 2nd half to go. Reading havent won in there last 8 games at home! Yet have cost me my coupon most of them. That record has cost them promotion. Id rather Brum than Sheff Utd though.
  15. Whilst Velicka and Boyd have done well recently Id put Lafferty or Miller in the side for both games. Lafferty was our best player until he got injured (was that against Hearts also? were we 2 up when he went off??). Through the middle he was looking a different player. Miller has pace, good movement and is direct which defenders hate. As you say, tough tough decision to make.
  16. Cant agree with that Gav. Ok the Championship is a good league and most of the sides in that division would beat the 10 other SPL sides, but I cant believe the likes of West Brom, Middlesboro, Hull, Portsmouth and Bolton are better than Rangers and Celtic. Plus Newcastle are linked with half of our players every summer and January window. I think we would be 3 or 4 players (and maybe a new manager) away from being a comfortable top 10 side.
  17. Big game for Boyd today. I'm happy to admit his last few games have shown us a different player and now he has the chance to prove he can perform well against the other teams in the top 6. A good performance today could be the determining factor whether WS plays him from the start against Celtic next week.
  18. Our best month of the season! We have clicked at the right time. Do we have Barry Ferguson to thank for those antics???
  19. Yip would rather see a repeat of the 2006 final - Arsenal v Barca. And I think Arsenal could well beat Man U on Tuesday. It is going to be an absolute corker of a game as Arsenal have to come out and score. Whoever wins at Emirates I hope goes onto to win the thing. Would love to see Arsenal win but i wouldnt grudge Sir Awex and Giggs another CL title.
  20. Newcastle are a soap opera and have a structure like a house of cards. The OF are already the same size as Newcastle with a fraction of the income. As WS says, we could be potentially a top 5 club after a few seasons.
  21. Here is him still mumping on about the Tevez affair yet he comes out with nonsense like this and says Sheff Utd will win if they play to there ability!! I hope Palace somehow get apoint but there owner Michael Jordan has been talking about how much he doesnt like the Birmingham board. Id rather Brum go up than Sheff Utd but hopefully Reading somehow nick it today then Cardiff, Burley or Preston go up via the playoffs.
  22. I kinda hope they go to Stamford Bridge on Wednesday and batter Chelsea. I would love to see a Arsenal v Chelsea final but the risk of letting Chelsea win the CL would be there.
  23. As Calscot says the OF being at Ibrox gives us a slight advantage in this game but we cant rely on that after all we won our only OF game this season at Parkhead. Whatever happens that is the key game and makes the destiny with the team whoever comes out of that game with the right result. Personally I think we will win the title, we are on a good run at the right time and Id say we look more of a team since BF being left out. We are getting players like Miller and Lafferty coming back plus Velicka and Boyd have scored in the last few games while both actually playing quite well.
  24. Why is it at 3:30 and not 3pm or the usual sunday time of 2pm?
  25. 6-2 to Barca!!! They have scored over 100 goals in 34 matches in the league,. Awesome stuff
